Both stories per the Wiretap.

:sigh:

Henry's contract will probably be voided now and he will be cut. At least, I would hope so.

But that REALLY sets the team back.

Earlier, Edmonson told Cincinnati TV station Channel 5 that he may have been mistaken and had been given bad information and is tracking down more information.

The agent for suspended Bengals receiver Chris Henry denied a report that his client failed a court-ordered drug test.

"The final result is negative," Marvin Frazier told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "It's all [nonsense]." Frazier also told ESPN.com's John Clayton that the test was negative.

Kenton County (Kentucky) Attorney Garry Edmondson said Monday that Henry tested positive for opiates and he will be forced to serve 88 days in jail. However, Edmondson's office later backed off that statement and said it was awaiting the results of a second test.

Frazier told ESPN.com the second test, whose results came back either late Friday or early Monday, turned out to be negative. Henry's attorney said the first test, which was not administered by the NFL but was court-mandated, was comparable to a home pregnancy test.
